To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, EDWARD OCoNNoR, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of New Haven, in the county of New Haven andState of Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Soap-Container,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in soap containers, and morearticularly to a soap container adapted to orm a part of a douche orinternal bath device, which com-' pels the water to pass through thesoap to render the water soapy and supply such p soapy water in suchquantity as may be desired. V

It is a well known fact that soapy water is desirable for internal bathsand douches, but the difiiculty heretofore has been to obtain the samein any convenient manner and in an unlimited quantity. To supply' thisneed my invention was devised as will more fully hereinafter appear.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel features of construction and combinations and arrangements ofparts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in theclaims.

The accompanying drawing is a view in longitudinal section illustratingmy improvements.

1 represents a casing having an outlet nipple 2 at its lower end forattachmentto a hose 2 which may have any suitable nozzle (not shown) atits free end for insertion into the rectum of the user.

The upper end of the casing 1 has an internal annular enlargement 3, thelatter having an external recess, the wall of which is screwthreaded asshown at 4.

The enlargement 3 is made with an annular recess at its inner edge asshown at 5, and a contalner 6 is located in the casing,

spaced from the walls thereof and is pro- Speciflcation of LettersPatent.

ing a gasket 11 against the casing tomake I the device watertight.

The cap jecting down into the container and normally having its lowerend embedded in soap-powder or-particles 13. The upper inlet end of tube12' has an inlet nipple; .14: adapted to be connected bya hose 15 with afaucet (not shown).

In operation the water from tube 12 rises through the soap 13 andescapes in the form of soapy water, through the perforations 8 intocasing 1, and thence flows through niple 2 and hose 2 to the point ofuse.

While I have referred to the material in the container 6 as soap it isobvious that 9 has an integral tube 12 pro Patented Aug. 17, 1920.Application filed August 26, 1919. .serial No. 319,954. 7

and I therefore would have it understood 'that. the device might beemployed with soap, oil, or any other material which will impregnate thewater and which can be used advantageously.

Various slight' changes might be made in the general form of the partsdescribed without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limitmyself to the precise details set forth but consider myself at libertyto make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within thespirit and scope of the appended claims.

I claim: a

1. A device of the character described, comprising a casing having anoutlet n1p ple' in its lower end, a container fitting the upper end ofthe casing projecting into the casing and spaced throughout the greaterportion of its length from the wall of the casing, said container havingperforations in its -wall at its upper portion only communicating withsaid space between the container and the casing, a cover fitting thecasing, and an inlet tube carried by the cover and projecting to a pointnear the bottom of the container.

2. A device of the character described, comprising a casing having anoutlet nipple in its lower end, a container fitting the upper end of thecasing projecting into the casing and spaced throughout the greaterportion of its length from the wall of the casing, said container havingperforations in its Wall at its upper portion only communicating withsaid space between the container and the casing, a cover fitting the casing, an inlet tube carried by the cover and projecting to a point nearthe bottom of the container, said casing having a screw threaded upperend, and an internally screw threaded flange on the cover engaging thescrew threads of the casing. v

3. A device of the character stated, comprising a casing having aninternal annular recess at its upper end, a container in the casinghaving an annular flange fitting in said recess, a cap secured on theupper end of the casing and holding the flange of the container in therecess of the casing, an inlet tube on the cap projecting into thecontainer, and said container having perforations in the upper portiononly of its wall 15 communicating with the casing.

4. A device of the character stated, comprising a casing having anoutlet nipple at its lower end, and having internal and ex ternalrecesses at its upper end, a container having its upper end supported inthe inner recess at the upper end of the casing and having perforationsin the upper portion only of its wall, a cap fitting in the externalrecess at the upper end of the casing, and an inlet tube in the capprojecting into the container and having a nipple at its upper end.
